Aurore Tower

2026-07-22

The Aurore Tower is the result of the restructuring of the tower of the same name, a landmark building in the business district dating from the 1970s. AER 2 acquired the Aurore Tower, the BNP building and several adjacent plots from Carlyle with the aim of transforming this property complex and revitalising the district. This transformation was carried out in total coordination with Paris La Défense and is part of its overall policy of regenerating the Reflets district. The Aurore project involved the major restructuring and extension of the existing tower, as well as the deconstruction/reconstruction of the adjacent building. This eight-storey pavilion is designed as a 'lantern'. It will offer services including a café/commercial and brasserie with a rooftop accessible to the public, an auditorium, company catering, a business centre and office space. As part of the Aurore project, development work has been undertaken in the vicinity of the building complex, with the aim of improving the accessibility and attractiveness of the Corolles-Reflets-Iris district. Paris La Défense has also taken advantage of the restructuring of the tower to redevelop all the public spaces in the Reflets district, following on from the redevelopment of Place de l'Iris. An ambitious refurbishment Aurore is one of the new generation of restructured towers that meet Paris La Défense's ambitions to reduce its impact on the environment. Its renovation can be summed up as follows Refurbishment: adapting and bringing the floors up to current standards; Raising the tower by a further 6 storeys; Removal of the existing façades and creation of new, modern, high-performance façades; Respecting and maintaining the identity of the tower, an architectural icon of Paris La Défense; Creation of a new range of services, open to the neighbourhood, in a new building.
